Bárbara is an intensive track physics major at Yale. Originally from Brazil, she fell in love with physics in high school, when she participated in Olympiads and represented her native country a couple of times at an international physics competition. She previously worked at CERN in Professor Sarah Demers’ group and currently does research in AMO in Professor David DeMille’s lab. She joined WiP in her sophomore year to help the APS CUWiP 2015 organization. She is also an undergrad representative in the Yale Physics Department Climate and Diversity Committee. When she is not doing physics, she likes to play her guitar, travel, have meaningful conversations with other Yalies and hang out at Global Grounds (there’re free brownies and cookies there!) and at the CEID.
